Short filmTranscript
00:00On the night of his coronation, he cut the flesh from my forehead.
00:07The High Prophet once prophesied that the Lord Chancellor would have a daughter capable of foreseeing the future.
00:14I was born with a lotus flower on my forehead, while my younger sister liked to draw flowers there.
00:20A royal decree betrothed my sister as the crown prince's bride, while I, according to my own wish, married Prince
00:28Peter.
00:30For the next five years, I used my power of foresight to help Peter Carter ascend to the throne.
00:37On the night of his coronation, I wiped away my makeup and told Peter about the lotus flower on my
00:43forehead.
00:44Bella Jones, how dare you imitate Karen!
00:50Wiss I reborn?
00:54When I opened my eyes again, I realized I had been reborn to the day I was to choose my
00:59husband.
00:59How can a mere flower decide that Karen is the chosen woman?
01:02I'd like to use the blank royal writ your majesty bestowed years ago, to marry the Lord Chancellor's base-born
01:08daughter, Karen Jones.
01:10That royal writ was a reward from many years ago, granted after Peter Carter's mother died saving the king.
01:15I never expected he would use it here.
01:18In my previous life, even with my help, he relied on that writ to ascend the throne legitimately.
01:23I never imagined he would go this far for Karen.
01:25The queen was delighted he used it early, sparing future trouble.
01:29Bella Jones, what do you think?
01:31That His Highness favors my sister is an absolute honor to our family.
01:35Peter looked at me, and his gaze seemed really complicated.
01:38And it was resolute too.
01:40This has nothing to do with coveting Lucas' position as Crown Prince.
01:44It is simply that Karen and I are deeply in love.
01:48She is only a second daughter and cannot bear such an exalted fate.
01:52My queen, please grant us your blessing.
01:55But the entire capital knows the one you grew up with was Bella.
02:00And now you...
02:02I only regard...
02:03I regarded her as a younger sister.
02:05I didn't know people would misunderstand us.
02:08Younger sister, huh?
02:10Crown Prince Lucas was surrounded by a powerful royal aura.
02:14The so-called aura of a true king.
02:17Without my support, Peter would never be able to beat Lucas.
02:20Since he had staked everything on my base-born sister, I'd just grant his wish.
02:25Just as I exited the hall, Peter's attendance stopped me.
02:30Lady Bella, please wait.
02:32Prince Peter requests your presence.
02:35I was led to a corner tower where there was nothing else but tea.
02:38I didn't know what I could do, so I drank the tea, one cup after another, before Peter showed up.
02:44By the time my bladder was about to burst, Peter finally arrived, his face icy.
02:48When Karen begged you for help back then, this was how you treated her.
02:52Does it feel good?
02:53In the previous life, the army can't be delayed, so I stopped her.
02:57He won a great victory.
02:59And harbored resent to get me for it.
03:01I know you've come back to live this life again too, Bella.
03:04Even if you're prickly and jealous.
03:06We were married once, after all.
03:08I can still give you a way out of this.
03:11If you still care about me, after I marry Karen, I can make a place for you right by my
03:15side.
03:16We should just take separate paths, do you understand?
03:21If vengeance is to be sought, it should be me coming after you, not the other way around.
03:26Since you're betrothed, the more distance we keep, the better.
03:30I will request to go to the Abbey of Mercy to pray for a year, just to avoid you.
03:36Peter Carter did not look pleased by my good sense.
03:39His expression darkened further.
03:41I stepped past him to leave, but he grabbed me.
03:44My killing you was an overreaction.
03:46But if you hadn't imitated Karen by painting a flower on your forehead, how would I have lost it?
03:51As long as you behave yourself this time, I can keep you alive.
03:54We once shared tender moments, remember?
03:58If you don't fight for any higher position, just be an obedient consort.
04:02I said separate paths.
04:04I will never be a consort.
04:06No sooner had I returned to the estate than the royal decree arrived.
04:10Well, hurry and receive the decree.
04:12Hurry up.
04:13Yes.
04:14Lord Chancellor Ted, it's not for her.
04:17It's for your second daughter, the base-born one.
04:21The royal decree, already eye-catching as it made its way from the palace gate, was further
04:26amplified by Peter's influence.
04:28In one night, our family became the center of attention.
04:31For years, it had been me, the true-born daughter of Lord Chancellor Ted, seen accompanying Peter.
04:38Yet the one getting married to him was the second daughter.
04:41Could it be that Bella had been the one chasing Prince Peter all along?
04:45How could the Virgil Lord Chancellor have such a daughter?
04:49His first daughter acts like a courtesan.
04:51No wonder she couldn't win the favor of Prince Peter.
04:53The next morning, Peter arrived early, bringing ten carriages of extravagant gifts to our estate.
04:59This further confirmed his affection for Karen.
05:02My father, his face full of worry, looked at me as I practiced calligraphy.
05:07Bella, though I don't know what's happened between you and the prince, public opinion is
05:11now turning against you.
05:13Would you like to leave the capital to avoid the storm, to clear your mind?
05:17I put down the brush in my hand and said,
05:19I thought about retreating to the Abbey of Mercy, but there's no escaping this now.
05:24It's my fault.
05:25I should never have brought Karen back.
05:27Before he could finish, Karen pushed the door open and entered.
05:30When I was a child, you favored her and sent me to live with relatives at the border.
05:34And now Prince Peter is coming for me.
05:37Do you want to take this away from me, too?
05:39I'll show you that even though I'm not as noble as Bella, I'm the daughter you should be proud of.
05:44She stormed off in a huff.
05:46And my father, afraid of something bad happening, sent guards to follow her.
05:50I tried to calm father down.
05:53Father, there's something more important that needs your attention.
05:56There's going to be a major earthquake in the western region.
05:59You should prepare early.
06:00Father froze for a moment.
06:02I'll go to the palace now.
06:04Prince Peter will prepare for this.
06:06You should just focus on the follow-up work.
06:08Father was uncertain, but chose to trust me.
06:11If Peter wanted to seize the throne, he wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to win the people over.
06:16But I didn't expect that he would let Karen have the credit.
06:18Soon, rumors spread that Karen could predict the future and was the true chosen woman.
06:23The High Prophet's prophecy was brought up again.
06:26And with the wedding date approaching, she truly had the spotlight.
06:29Bella Jones? She really doesn't deserve the title of the noblest girl in the capital.
06:33Totally. She's indeed very beautiful, graceful, and talented.
06:37However, her incredible sister has now completely outshined her.
06:41At that time, Karen cornered me in the study and stopped me from writing.
06:45Bella, I'm going to be the queen this time.
06:49So what if you're the true chosen woman?
06:51Since I have the memories, I can predict things too.
06:55I smiled and looked at her.
06:56You think Peter was the reason why I became the queen?
07:00You've got things backwards.
07:04You're really full of yourself!
07:06I grabbed her hand and threw it off.
07:08But just then, Peter walked in and saw what had happened.
07:12He immediately shielded Karen in his arms.
07:15Bella!
07:17How dare you hurt her!
07:18I grabbed her hand and threw it off.
07:20But just then, Peter walked in and saw what had happened.
07:23Pulled Karen into his arms and looked at her with concern.
07:27I watched as he gently comforted Karen, but turned around to lash out at me.
07:32Bella, weren't you called the noblest girl in the capital?
07:36Now you're clearly a jealous and vicious woman.
07:38But just last month, during our boat ride, he had whispered sweet words beside me.
07:43Bella, you're so graceful and peerless.
07:47I want to hide you away so only I can have you.
07:50Seeing my eyes redden, Peter didn't want Karen to be scared.
07:53So he immediately ordered for her to be taken away.
07:56It was because you couldn't accept Karen that caused our rift in the previous life.
08:00Why do you have to make the same mistake now?
08:04Why should I accept her?
08:06You know full well her background.
08:08Her existence is a disgrace to our family.
08:12We've only kept her because my father couldn't bring himself to cast her out.
08:16Karen's father had been nothing but a thug.
08:18He had assaulted my mother, resulting in Karen's birth.
08:21My mother had passed away in sorrow because of that.
08:24But my father, recalling that she was still my mother's blood, couldn't bear to expel her, let alone kill her.
08:31Suddenly, Peter furiously grabbed my throat and whispered angrily.
08:35She was just a child.
08:37Totally innocent.
08:39If you don't keep this to yourself, I have a thousand ways to make you unable to speak.
08:45My breathing became labored, and Peter finally released his grip.
08:49Guards, Bella wishes to go to the Abbey of Mercy for a month to pray for her sister Karen.
08:54Take her there.
08:55The common people along the streets weren't fools.
08:58They began to speculate on what had really happened.
09:01I was kept under house arrest in the Abbey, unaware of the rumors spreading outside.
09:06Meanwhile, Karen spread the word that I was jealous of her and tried to harm her, only to be caught
09:11by Peter.
09:12The people started praising her for predicting the earthquake and saving many citizens.
09:16The day I left the Abbey and returned home, a crowd was waiting outside the gates.
09:21They threw rotten vegetables and eggs at me.
09:24Just then, someone appeared in front of me and pushed the crowd back.
09:28Stop it!
09:29She's here only because she wanted to pray for her sister, my future bride.
09:34These rumors are truly unfounded.
09:36I looked at the tall figure in front of me, and my nose tingled with emotion.
09:41In the previous life, when we fought together on the battlefield, he would always shield me like this.
09:47But things had changed.
09:49Yet, as he protected me while I got into the carriage and sent me back home, it seemed like nothing
09:55had changed.
09:58The reason I'm defending you today is not for any other reason.
10:01I just thought it was wrong to forcibly send you to the Abbey back then.
10:04I lowered my head, sniffing.
10:06I understand.
10:09Father rushed back from the outskirts of the city.
10:11Father hugged me tightly and looked back at Peter.
10:15Our estate is too small to accommodate you.
10:17After your wedding next month, please don't come to us again.
10:21Father rushed back from the outskirts of the city.
10:23Father hugged me tightly and looked back at Peter.
10:26Our estate is too small to accommodate you.
10:29After your wedding next month, please don't come to us again.
10:33After the wedding, I will come to discuss with you about making Bella my consort.
10:36Father's face turned red with anger, and he picked up a broom to hit him.
10:45How can you behave this way?
10:47The Lord Chancellor has served the king and people loyally for his whole life.
10:51You've broken your promise and are marrying someone else,
10:54but now you want his first daughter to be your consort?
10:56You're literally insulting them.
10:58It was Lucas Carter, the Crown Prince.
11:01He ordered his men to escort Prince Peter back to his estate.
11:04He then returned with us to our house.
11:07When I was in my room getting dressed,
11:09I removed the leafy cover from my forehead,
11:11revealing the birthmark that had been hidden.
11:21Returning to the main hall, I heard Lucas's words.
11:25If you don't mind, I'd like to offer the entire kingdom as my bride price
11:28and ask Lady Bella to be my crown princess.
11:31Father hesitated for a moment,
11:33and I pushed the door open.
11:35I am honored by your highness' affection,
11:38and I am willing.
11:39In the previous life,
11:40it was because I chose Peter, defying fate,
11:43that all the disasters followed.
11:44They thought that by reliving this life,
11:46they could manage fate through their memories.
11:48What a joke.
11:49Your highness must have your own reasons for shenzeng me,
11:52but all I ask is for you to protect my father and me.
11:56I was a sign of sincerity.
11:58Rook Pete once makes any bold jokes.
12:01I will assist your house and resist him.
12:03Sure enough, not long after, the news spread,
12:06Princess Callan had predicted that a plague would break out soon.
12:09Once this prophecy spread,
12:12it immediately caused panic among the common people.
12:15With the prices of food and medicine skyrocketing,
12:18the king tried to suppress the panic,
12:20but his efforts were in vain.
12:22In the throne hall,
12:23only Lucas opposed Peter's large scable preparations.
12:27Many of the common people have invested all their savings
12:30into buying medicine and food,
12:31but with the recent rains,
12:33they have no proper storage,
12:34and those goods are quickly starting to spoil.
12:38Go tell the crown prince about this
12:40and have him send some guards to secure the Grainmore house.
12:42But ten days passed,
12:44then a month,
12:45the day Princess Karen predicted had long passed.
12:49The plague did not arrive,
12:52and the people realized they had been deceived.
12:54They angrily marched to Prince Peter's estate.
12:57The servants sent out reported
12:59that the grain stored by the common people
13:01had spoiled due to the wet season.
13:04I tidied myself up before slowly making my way over.
13:08We trusted you and lost so much,
13:10you can't just ignore this!
13:11Yes, you owe us an explanation, don't you?
13:14Could it be that last time's flood was just a coincidence?
13:16Who knows?
13:17Prince Peter went to such nanks for his princess.
13:20Maybe they deliberately blew up the dam to cause that!
13:23As their words grew more outrageous,
13:25Peter and Karen began to panic.
13:29At that moment,
13:30a tall figure appeared behind I and cleared his throat.
13:33Everyone!
13:34What has happened is in the past.
13:37After consulting with the Chancellor's daughter,
13:39I've decided to privately compensate everyone.
13:43Due to the rain,
13:44the food is not suitable for storage.
13:46You may return home,
13:48check your stores,
13:49and bring any bad grain to the Chancellor's estate.
13:51We'll replace it with fresh grain.
13:53And on top of that,
13:54each family will get five silver coins.
13:57Most of the people chaired and began to disperse.
14:00But some still stayed outside Prince Peter's estate,
14:04continuing to insult them and refusing to leave.
14:08In the last life,
14:09the plague really did happen.
14:11How come it didn't hit this time?
14:14Bella,
14:14did you do something?
14:16It was me.
14:19What are you going to do about it?
14:20You still want to marry Peter,
14:22right?
14:22Let me tell you,
14:23this time he's mine alone.
14:25Don't even think about it!
14:29I know you're still hopelessly in love with me.
14:32I've already offered to make you my consort,
14:34so why do you have to do this?
14:36Now you're helping me clean up after the mess, you-
14:38I wanted her to be my wife,
14:40the crown princess,
14:41but she refused.
14:42You asked her to be your consort?
14:44Seriously?
14:45I wanted her to be my wife,
14:47the crown princess,
14:49but she refused.
14:50You asked her to be your consort?
14:52Seriously?
14:53People are like water.
14:54Water can carry a boat,
14:56but it can also capsile it.
14:57Did you think about the consequences
14:59when you manipulated public Aramean
15:00to lift yourselves up?
15:02Peter, however,
15:03paid no attention to Lucas.
15:05He just stared at me intently.
15:07The things that happened in the previous life
15:09are long bossed.
15:11Now,
15:11it leaps you've got your revenge.
15:13Don't drag Lucas into it.
15:14I know you still want me,
15:16but you can't be so outrageous!
15:18Karen stepped forward,
15:20standing between Peter and me,
15:22about to speak.
15:23But a bucket of water
15:25was suddenly thrown at her,
15:26by the angry crowd.
15:28Both of us were drenched.
15:33The common people,
15:35seeing that I had been splashed as well,
15:37were about to apologize,
15:38but they just didn't know what to say.
15:40I froze for a moment.
15:42Then,
15:42I realized something was wrong.
15:44Sure add,
15:45Peter's gaze shifted
15:46between Karen and I.
15:48Princess Karen's flower mark
15:49fades when it meets water,
15:51while Lady Belly's makeup has washed off,
15:53revealing the true birthmark.
15:55This means Lady Belly is the true chosen woman.
15:59While Lady Belly's makeup has washed off,
16:01revealing the true birthmark.
16:03This means Lady Belly is the true chosen woman.
16:08Please don't make this public.
16:09I will offer you anything you want.
16:11No wonder the Lord Chancellor
16:12could swiftly provide disaster relief
16:14when the earthquake happened.
16:16And you and the Crown Prince
16:18repeatedly advised us
16:19not to hoard food for the plague.
16:21Now we understand.
16:23Don't worry.
16:24I'll keep this a secret.
16:26Lucas stepped forward,
16:27wrapping me in his cloak
16:28as he turned to leave,
16:29not forgetting to mock Peter.
16:31Fool.
16:33Married the true chosen woman
16:34but didn't cherish her.
16:36Truly foolish.
16:38You...
16:39He nodded
16:39but didn't say anything more.
16:41The next moment,
16:42a royal herald came to us,
16:44holding a decree.
16:47Your Highness and Lady Bella,
16:49His Majesty has issued a decree.
16:52The daughter of the Jones family,
16:53Bella,
16:54of noble birth
16:55and gentle temperamented,
16:56possessing both virtue and grace,
16:58is to be recognized
16:59as a match worthy of the crown.
17:01She is to be made
17:02the Crown Prince's conscord.
17:04An auspicious date
17:05will be chosen for their wedding.
17:07May she diligently fulfill her duties
17:09and assist the Crown Prince
17:10in his role as the heir,
17:12upholding the legacy
17:13of the royal family.
17:14Sure enough,
17:15that very night
17:15Peter visited
17:16the Chancellor's estate
17:17but he looked disheveled.
17:19Did you set up those guards?
17:22Yes.
17:23They were specially arranged for you.
17:25Peter sighed
17:25and entered my room
17:26to tidy himself up.
17:28I know you're angry with me
17:29but I'm not heartless towards you.
17:31I married Karen
17:32which has already angered
17:33the King and Queen
17:34so it's difficult for me
17:35to ask them to let me marry you now.
17:37You'll have to figure it out yourself
17:38but my promise remains unchanged.
17:41Are you asking me
17:41to defy the King
17:42and risk the entire Jones family
17:44for you?
17:47You want me dead, Peter?
17:49He cleared his throat.
17:51You have a way to protect everyone
17:52and I know what you want from Lucas.
17:55I can do the same for you.
17:56I didn't believe a single word he said.
17:58In the past,
17:59he had condemned me to death
18:00over a single letter from Karen.
18:02Seeing that I was not yielding,
18:04he became vaguely frustrated.
18:06At that moment,
18:06his servant came to report.
18:08Your Highness,
18:09the Princess seems unwell
18:11and is unable to sleep.
18:12Before leaving,
18:13he didn't forget to threaten me.
18:18Bella, you're a smart person.
18:20In the end,
18:21I'll be the one to sit on the throne.
18:23Don't let your father
18:24and the entire Jones family
18:26be your way of getting back at me.
18:27But not long later,
18:29Peter returned.
18:29He trapped me in his arms
18:31and forcibly carried me out the door.
18:35There's something I need you
18:36to promise Karen face to face.
18:39When we arrived at their estate,
18:41Karen climbed out of bed,
18:42her clothes still a bit disheveled.
18:44She shrank into Peter's arms
18:45when she looked at me.
18:47How could you bring her here?
18:48Don't tell me you still have feelings for her.
18:51Peter spoke gently to console her.
18:52After all,
18:53Bella and I have been married
18:54for many years.
18:56And when I ascend to the throne,
18:58the Queen must come from a noble family.
19:01Karen grew furious and screamed.
19:03You promised me
19:03you would give me all the honor.
19:05How can you go back on your word?
19:08How can you let her walk all over me again?
19:11Her face flushed
19:12and her voice hoarse.
19:14At that moment,
19:15I suddenly had an idea.
19:17Lucas was not a cool person.
19:19Why had Karen met such a tragic end
19:21in the previous life?
19:23Looking around,
19:23the only thing that seemed to have a gap
19:25was the cabinet next to the bed.
19:27Peter seemed annoyed
19:28with her lack of foresight.
19:29Look at the history books for yourself.
19:32How many Queens
19:33come from a base-born background?
19:36Besides,
19:37you're only beneath my Bella.
19:38You should be contentious.
19:39This sentence completely enraged Karen.
19:42You're Bella?
19:43I knew you still had feelings for her.
19:45We're both the daughters
19:47of the same father.
19:48How is my background
19:49not good enough?
19:50I simply sat down
19:51and poured myself a cup of tea,
19:53but Peter looked bewildered,
19:55staring at me.
19:56You've never told her about her background?
19:58I knew you still had feelings for her.
20:01We're both the daughters
20:02of the same father.
20:03How is my background
20:04not good enough?
20:05I simply sat down
20:07and poured myself a cup of tea,
20:08but Peter looked bewildered,
20:10staring at me.
20:12You've never told her
20:13about her background?
20:14I nodded.
20:15No.
20:17As you said,
20:18my father also thinks
20:19she's just an innocent child,
20:21and since my mother
20:22has already passed,
20:23there's no point
20:24in bringing it up.
20:26Also,
20:26let me say this
20:27one more time.
20:28You and I should keep
20:30our paths separated
20:31in this life.
20:32Karen sneered at me.
20:33But you keep pestering, Peter.
20:35I ignored her
20:36and slowly moved
20:37toward the cabinet.
20:39Wait a moment, Bella.
20:41Just as I was near it,
20:42Karen suddenly blocked the way.
20:44This time,
20:45I acted first
20:46and shouted,
20:47Help!
20:48There's a snake!
20:49A snake just crawled
20:50into that cabinet!
20:51What if it bites
20:52the prince or the princess?
20:53I wanted to get someone
20:54to search the cabinet,
20:55but just then,
20:56it suddenly opened.
20:58A tall, disheveled man
20:59sprang out of the cabinet.
21:01The snake!
21:01Where's the snake?
21:03Ah!
21:04Your Highness,
21:04help me!
21:05The next second,
21:06my eye-eyes recovered.
21:08Prince Peter,
21:10you're really lucky.
21:11Your princess loves you
21:13so much
21:13and even gets someone
21:15to share your burden.
21:16Peter's voice
21:17pierced through the air.
21:18Karen Jones.
21:19Karen cried
21:20and clung to Peter's leg.
21:22It's my sister!
21:23It's her!
21:24She purposely put someone
21:26in my cabinet
21:27to slander me!
21:29I love you so much!
21:31I would never cheat on you!
21:34The man,
21:35receiving her signal,
21:36was about to blame me.
21:38If it's me,
21:38then I admit my guilt.
21:40I slandered,
21:41dirty the royal princess,
21:42and I should be sent to prison.
21:45This guy dirtied the princess.
21:47Drag him out
21:48and execute him too.
21:50Seeing that I wasn't
21:51making up excuses for myself,
21:52the man panicked instantly
21:54and grabbed Karen's leg.
21:56Please save me,
21:57your highness!
21:58I served you well,
22:00right?
22:00And you liked it!
22:01Please protect me!
22:03Peter's face darkened
22:05as he prepared
22:05to deal with the situation,
22:07but I suddenly recalled
22:08the previous life.
22:10After Karen's death,
22:11there were many rumors
22:13about her infidelity,
22:14but Peter didn't believe it
22:15and ordered for those
22:16spreading the rumors
22:17to be dealt with.
22:18I looked at the woman
22:19on the ground and said,
22:20I'm really curious.
22:21Was it because of this
22:23in the previous life
22:23that you died?
22:25Knowing she couldn't
22:26explain herself anymore,
22:27Karen just admitted it.
22:29Yes!
22:30Lucas seemed unresponsive
22:31or something,
22:32no matter what I try!
22:33I'm human!
22:34I have desires!
22:35It couldn't help
22:36but exclaims Count Peter.
22:38How could I have been
22:39so blind to risk everything
22:41and marry you?
22:42Wojila,
22:43Cal and Finsletha.
22:45Exactly!
22:46You were really blind!
22:47Not just blind,
22:48but foolish!
22:49You only remembered
22:50that the person who saved you
22:52had a red mark
22:52on her forehead,
22:53but you clearly knew
22:54she was the one
22:55with the birth perk,
22:56yet you still chose
22:57to believe me.
22:58When I was a child,
22:59I went out to admire
23:00the flowers
23:01and accidentally saved Peter,
23:02who had fallen off a cliff.
23:04He was already unconscious
23:06at the time.
23:08I thought he was handsome,
23:09so I followed him every day.
23:12Bella,
23:12you didn't know,
23:13did you?
23:13That day,
23:14I simply told him
23:15that I saved him,
23:16and you were just
23:16my evil elder sister
23:17who did steal my credit.
23:19He just believed it.
23:20Though I felt
23:21a little quitter,
23:22it wasn't surprising
23:23that he was so cluntless.
23:26You lied to me.
23:27You actually dared
23:28to lie to me?
23:32You made it public
23:34and paraded me
23:35into your estate.
23:36How dare you kill me?
23:38How will you explain
23:39this to the people?
23:40You lied to me!
23:42These two really were
23:43a perfect match.
23:45Peter,
23:46why did you take away
23:46my betrothed
23:47in the dead of night?
23:48What are you doing?
23:49Just then,
23:51Lucas's voice came.
23:52I quickly nestled
23:53into his arms.
23:55Yes,
23:55though we haven't
23:56been officially married yet,
23:57a woman's reputation
23:58is the most precious
23:59thing to her.
24:00If it weren't for
24:01Lucas trusting me,
24:02I wouldn't even know
24:03how to explain this
24:03to everyone.
24:06Standing with sudden
24:07change in attitude,
24:08Peter reached out
24:09to pull me toward him.
24:10Prince Peter is so romantic,
24:12willing to give up
24:12everything for love.
24:14I, on the other hand,
24:15am too vain
24:16to endure hardship.
24:18With that,
24:19I ignored both of them
24:20and followed Lucas
24:21back to the Chancellor's estate.
24:23Along the way,
24:24I couldn't help
24:25but glance at his waist.
24:26Why are you looking
24:27at me like that?
24:28Why are you looking
24:28at me like that?
24:29Well,
24:30it's nothing.
24:31There's going to be
24:32a major battle
24:33in the Borderlands,
24:33right?
24:34What do you think?
24:35Upon hearing this,
24:36I quickly closed my eyes
24:38and meditated.
24:38The war in the previous life
24:40happened because I
24:41forcibly transferred
24:42the Royal Allura
24:42to Peter.
24:44Heaven initiated the war
24:45to correct the mistake.
24:46It won't happen this time.
24:48Lucas didn't respond
24:50for a long time,
24:51so I took the courage
24:52to speak.
24:53Aren't you angry
24:54that I forcibly transferred
24:55your Royal Allura
24:56to Peter?
24:57Enough!
24:59I obediently stopped talking.
25:02I didn't know
25:02what agreement
25:03Peter and Karen
25:04had reached.
25:05They managed
25:05to maintain
25:06a facade of peace.
25:07Peter began
25:08buying up soldiers
25:09from all directions.
25:11And a month later,
25:13during the Royal Council,
25:14he brought up
25:14Karen's prophecy.
25:15My princess predicted
25:16that there would be
25:17a major battle
25:17in the Borderlands
25:18in a month.
25:18I volunteer
25:19to take charge.
25:21As usual,
25:22Lucas opposed him,
25:23but the king
25:24saw Peter's firm resolve.
25:25With a mindset
25:26of better safe
25:27than sorry,
25:28the king handed him
25:28the military command.
25:30Peter set off
25:30as planned,
25:31but two months passed
25:32and the Borderlands
25:33were peaceful.
25:34Peter, however,
25:35had made the most
25:36foolish move of all.
25:37of course.
25:38Peter, because of his
25:38and the mayor
25:39He was
